The answer to quote one is, you're gonna like this I know, socialized healthcare.
Who is the who? You do realise that what works for, say, Great Britain may not work for the U.S.? We've got 330 million people here, you don't.
All I want to know is, who pays for it? I already pay enough in taxes, so don't tell me the answer is taxing more, that's a non-starter.

Much of South America is likely a mess too - the mischievous part of me wants to say its often down to US interference over the years
Sure, blame the U.S. Isn't it just as likely that the country is just screwed up, run by screwups?

It cannot be right that you have people dying for lack of insulin
They're not. They're dying from complications due to diabetes that is poorly managed, mainly because they are too lazy to eat properly and get exercise. The answer isn't more insulin, the answer is people who are motivated to control their disease with a proper diet, not pumping themselves full of insulin. Don't forget, I did medical transports for five years, and took hundreds of people to their dialysis and endocrinologist appointments. In the overwhelming majority of cases, people needing dialysis and diabetic care were overweight and poor eaters. All they wanted to talk about on their rides was what kind of food they ate and loved.

I have no doubt that the quality of healthcare in the US is often excellent if you can afford it.
Also if you can't. Most of the people I transported were MA patients.
